Hi Kathy,

Most of my experience of comics is with the old Archie ones, too. I've been a reference book writer and editor for the last 18 years, my whole professional career. I've always liked it because I could keep learning and then share what I've learned in my books. Unfortunately, the publishing industry has been changing. Libraries are buying online material instead of books, and small companies like the one I work for can't keep up. It's tough, and it's the reason I'm going to be laid off this summer, along with half my other colleagues. It kind of adds to the other stuff I'm dealing with. I always thought I would have the same job for life. But the world is changing so fast these days...who could have imagined it ten, twenty years ago? I sure didn't.
